I guess I'm not 21 any more. I am 34. Went to a Halloween party last night. Not sure what possessed me to do whiskey shots, but I did. I woke up this morning hurting like a college student. I'm dry heaving, I'm shaking, my right eye is throbbing, and I look like Nick Nolte's mugshot. I feel awful. I also have no food in the house. Any recommendations for beating a hangover fast? I took two ibuprofen and I am trying to drink water but I just heave it back up again.
The worst hangover of my life.

Ice pack on your head. I know it's old school, but it works.

Have a banana with honey, or a banana and a cup of Greek yogurt.
The potassium will replenish you, the honey will get your blood sugar up, and the yogurt will coat your stomach.
Or have some pears. They did a study recently that showed they're a good hangover-killer.

The hangover trifecta: hair of the dog, sex, and smoking copious amounts of pot.

My partner says Gatorade works for him.
I'm like you, nothing stays down when I'm hungover. I can't even stay in bed. I usually curl up in a big chair and sleep semi-reclining until I feel somewhat human, usually another 5-6 hours. Then I go out for a big cheeseburger and a beer. That at least brings be back from the dead.
But you won't feel 100% until tomorrow. And I hate to tell you, it only gets worse as you get older. I'm in my 50s and I recently had a hangover that lasted for 2 days...and I didn't even drink that much. It wasn't as debilitating as yours, but I had a dull headache even 48 hours afterward.

Get fucked within an inch of your life. That'll sweat out the hangover. Afterwards, shower, eat a bacon burger, and go back to bed. You'll feel much better upon reawakening later today.

That's a myth.
I've had killer, can't-get-off-the-bathroom-floor hangovers from Bombay martinis. Thirty years later I can't even stand the smell of Bombay. Not that I quit drinking, I just switched gins

Ugh, I had my last very very bad hangover at 33 and I haven't gone that far since. I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital; I could feel the poison pulsing through my veins the next morning and couldn't keep anything down.
It took me about five days to feel normal again. Everyone here seems pretty confident that you'll bounce back by tomorrow though, OP. I hope so for your sake (though I doubt it, your upcoming week is probably going to be 'off'!).

OP, last time I had a hangover I was sick for 48 hours and constantly puked up my guts. Lets just say I haven't had many drinks since! Lol

Lay quietly in a darkened room, don't try to do anything more ambitious for many hours. Then shower. Saltine crackers, sip ginger ale.

Welcome to middle age. Once I hit 35, I couldn't have more than 2 drinks or I'd pay the next day. Consider today a lesson and learn from it.

Dramamine.. Get the chewable type. Or let the non-chewable, bad-tasting type dissolve on your tongue. Then swish and swallow. Don't worry about the bad taste -- that mans you're absorbing it, which you want. Put a bottle of water at your bedside and lie down. When you feel a little dizzy, drink some water. The dizziness should mean the medication is working. After drinking some water, see if it stays down. If it does, drink a little more. Just sips at a time. You may eventually fall asleep. That's ok.
You may think I have lots of experience with hangovers, but I don't. I have lots of experience with migraine headaches where I would throw up. Dramamine works. But it does dry your mouth, so try to take sips of water every five minutes before you fall asleep.
I never use the chewable type. I'm used to the taste of the regular type. I know it's going to help my headache and my nausea and I'm not sure if the chewable type will help as much.

Why do hangovers get worse as we get older? I find this to be distressingly true.

Taking a vitamin B-Complex before drinking another the next morning, along with a reasonable amount of water the night of and the day after helps, but it's a little late for OP.
Try not to hate yourself all day; take some comfort in knowing that a lot of us learn the same lesson around your age. Have some bread and take it easy. Tomorrow you'll feel better, but you probably won't be 100% until later Tuesday afternoon.

How are you doing OP? If you can hold anything down at this point (about 5 hours later) I agree with the ginger ale and crackers. Small sip, little nibble, repeat. Hot shower, bad TV (helps you go back to sleep.)
I also co-sign on the Ativan.

Give it five years r29.
I rarely drink enough to get a hangover but if I do it's now an all day affair instead of the have a shower, a coffee, 2 ibuprofen and shrug it off deal it used to be. I've found that buttered toast, poached egg, coffee, an electrolyte sports drink and a darkened room help. Once semi-human a brisk walk, hoping not to puke en route, helps too.

I can't drink much at all anymore, and my last hangover was decades ago. One drink, and I'm done. Eventually, you learn that the partying and drinking is not worth the way you feel the next day. Protein and orange juice worked for me. Eggs, a hamburger, etc. Unfortunately, some people never learn to slow down on the drinking, and that's when it becomes a big problem.

I wouldn't suggest taking oxycodone when you have a hangover. You still have alcohol in your system, and you don't want to end up like Lamar.
